BEDJ: Day 7 - The thing(s) I’m most afraid of

Flying.  This is a new one for me since my fear only started recently (2011).  I used to absolutely love flying and the novelty of it, but I had one near miss experience on a flight to New York with my school.  Our plane hit an air pocket and instantaneously dropped a few thousand feet in altitude.  I hadn't had time to tighten my seatbelt back up since it all happened so quick and we'd just been served our drinks so before I knew it my seat was gone from underneath me and drinks were all over the place.   Needless to say I was seriously shaken up and speechless.  I spent the rest of our trip dreading the journey home which really was a shame.  I have flown since but it took persuasion and bribing with alcohol.

Mascots. You know those people that wear oversized costumes at sports games? Yes, the terrify me.  This always insist on making a beeline for me was they can see how nervous I look.  More recently Henry, my housemate, dressed up in a dog mascot costume and went round hugging people.  I legged it, he chased me down the corridor and I locked myself in my room, heart racing.  It's stupid I know since I knew it was him but it's still a fear I happen to have.
